Winning
Kids do not understand how losing works
perhaps they don't know what endeavor means.
Some coaches play around with youngsters' minds
by setting goals which cannot be achieved.
While winning is important it is true
does winning mean one never needs to lose?
Such thinking sets a child at odds with life.
The game of life consists of ups and downs.
The loss one feels today can be the spur
which makes tomorrow's win mean so much more.
